SKL Nautil Sky Blue

The SKL Nautil Sky Blue is a Seiko Mod watch with an integrated bracelet. Its hue has been captivating the watchmaking world for several years. This milky turquoise blue, somewhere between a summer sky and a lagoon, is usually reserved by major brands for impossible-to-find series. On the striated dial of the cushion case, it becomes hypnotic, almost unreal. This is the Nautil for enthusiasts of striking pieces, the one that gets photographed and talked about. Turquoise usually has to be earned; here, it can be ordered.

The Coveted Series' Turquoise

The hue is milky, perfectly saturated, uniformly applied beneath the horizontal striations that light up its surface. Applied indices, date at three o'clock, 41mm 316L stainless steel case, 13mm thick, sapphire crystal, transparent case back. Against the cold steel of the integrated bracelet, the turquoise takes on a bold and joyful pop jewel presence. The color maintains its saturation indoors, where many turquoises fade to grey. The silver indices float above it like steel reflections on water.

An Authentic Seiko Movement

The NH35 caliber of this Seiko Mod is made in Japan by Seiko Instruments. Automatic with 24 jewels, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, 41 hours of power reserve. The second hand stops when setting. Accuracy of -20 to +40 seconds per day, the caliber's standard.

When to Wear It

Summer terraces, outdoor weddings, light outfits: it's the splash of color that completes the look. In winter, with a dark coat, the effect is even stronger. Water resistance 3 ATM: rain and splashes, no showering or swimming. At summer parties, it gets photographed before the guests.

A Gift That Makes an Impression

Few watches elicit an immediate reaction upon unboxing: this one is definitely one of them. Birthdays, engagements, special occasions. 3-year warranty, in its SKL box.

Style Tip

Wear it alone on the wrist, without bracelets or chains: the turquoise needs no embellishment. Adjustment is done link by link at a watchmaker's.
